Pilot Energy Ltd has completed its Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Technology Feasibility Studies for the Mid West Integrated Renewables and Hydrogen Project and confirms that the region is viable to produce globally competitive clean hydrogen through a multi-staged development pathway. 

The result of the study suggests a three-stage development pathway, starting with the carbon capture and storage (CCS) operation technology, followed by the inclusion of blue hydrogen production in 2025-2027 to produce up to 43,000 tonnes per year of blue hydrogen, and the last stage would integrate about 220 MW of wind and solar to produce up to 18,000 tonnes per year of green hydrogen.

The three stages of development would enable the production of up to 61,000 tonnes of clean hydrogen annually and about  350,000 tonnes of clean ammonia per year to supply the Asian markets. Pilot Energy will now focus on the permitting and frontend engineering and design (FEED) for the first stage over the next 12 months.
